This one should be gone.  Left the pad on an arc to the left, but even with the reefed chute it hung up as the breeze blew it back toward 27.  Landed in the same tree as the Screw Loose, broke loose, got caught again, broke loose again, and landed in the middle of 27.  I RAN.  Yep, ran.  Me.  Running.  I see you're shocked.  Two cars somehow missed it and I got it back intact.  Hope no one got that on camera.
